March 30, 2010 ESET quickly corrected the false positive and there should be no more alarms. Please update your AV definitions.

The following links are being detected by ESET Nod32 as JS/Exploit.CVE-2010-0806 trojan. However, I looked at the js files and i do not see the CVE-2010-0806 exploit in them. They seem to be false positives - some sort of ads scripts.

One of the little-noticed actions in the recently concluded session of the Chinese National People’s Congress was the enactment of a National Defense Mobilization Law. In an age when conventional conflicts are planned to conclude in a matter of days or weeks, it is striking that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) should choose to ensure its readiness for a protracted war. Indeed, it suggests that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is thinking about future wars in a very different way from their Western counterparts, where full-scale mobilization is rarely discussed at all. Whereas the U.S. and its allies have mostly neglected the prospect of a prolonged high-intensity conflict, the PLA appears intent on preparing for both short- and long-term wars.

The actions of the National People’s Congress have distinct implications for U.S. defense planners, as they portend an opponent who may choose to fight a protracted conflict—but with anti-ship missiles rather than IEDs. And it should also raise questions among foreign investors—how might their facilities and assets be treated in the event of a crisis?

We have drafted a memo to this regards as attached. Your inputs are highly appreciated.

Brookings Senior Fellow Michael O'Hanlon argues that, for a number of practical reasons, 2012 may prove too soon to transfer wartime operational control of South Korean forces to Korean command. O'Hanlon writes that if there is a need to evaluate the 2012 plan afresh, that should happen without apology, without undue haste and without any predetermined conclusion.
